Q. Consider the following statements regarding Red dwarf stars:
These are the hottest stars and the largest stars in the universe.
They radiate much light and are easy to detect.
It is easier to find exoplanets that surround them.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Answer:
Only 3
Notes:
Red dwarf stars are small, low-mass, dim, and cool stars, they are the most common and smallest in the universe.
As they don’t radiate much light, it’s very tough to detect them with the naked eye from Earth.
However, as red dwarfs are dimmer than other stars, it is easier to find exoplanets that surround them. Therefore, red dwarfs are a popular target for planet hunting.
The habitable zone of red dwarf stars is closer to the star than stars like our sun, making it easier to observe potentially habitable planets.
